Netflix’s new teen drama arrived on September 10 with all eight episodes ready to stream. Crew Girl follows 16-year-old rower Teagan Tao after a scandal forces her and her mother to leave home.
At Easton Prep, Teagan expects to keep competing as a single sculler. Instead, she discovers the school has no girls’ rowing team. Her only route back to the water is to become coxswain for the boys’ varsity crew, putting her in charge of a team that does not immediately want her there.
What is Crew Girl about?
Teagan’s job in the boat is different from the one she trained for. A coxswain steers the racing shell, sets strategy, and calls the rhythm while the rowers supply the power. For someone used to racing alone, it means learning to lead several strong personalities at once.
The team includes Josh Regis, Easton’s confident golden boy, and Cam Dillinger, a quieter local athlete who is tired of being underestimated. Both become part of Teagan’s life away from practice, giving the series its central love triangle.
Her home life is no simpler. Teagan’s mother, Ella, is trying to rebuild their lives after the family scandal, while tuition and Teagan’s athletic future remain uncertain. Races, school events, and fights within the team keep those problems moving through the season.
Who is in the Crew Girl cast?
Miku Martineau leads the series as Teagan Tao. She previously appeared in Bet, Kate, and Star Trek: Section 31. Sam Braun plays Josh Regis, Kyle Clark plays Cam Dillinger, and Mad Men and SEAL Team actor Jessica Paré plays Teagan’s mother, Ella.
Netflix has been introducing Martineau, Braun, and Clark alongside the casts of its other young-adult shows. Crew Girl has familiar teen-drama ingredients—a new school, family trouble, rivalry, and a romantic choice—but rowing gives the story its own setting and rules.
What else is new this weekend?
Viewers looking for something darker have A Killer Story on HBO Max, a three-part documentary about the Dana Chandler double-murder case. New episodes are arriving weekly through September 24.
Paramount+ has gone in the opposite direction with all eight episodes of Colin From Accounts Season 3. It is the final season of the Australian comedy created by and starring Patrick Brammall and Harriet Dyer.
Crew Girl is the straightforward teen binge in that group: eight episodes, one season, and no weekly wait. It is built for viewers who want romance, school drama, and competition in the same show.
